Review of Kunming by wtanaka (648), September 28, 2005 
It's very easy to get around in the city center of Kunming, due to its compact layout. There are a few random alleys that you can still walk through and see older housing conditions. And the city is clean and still slightly less polluted than other Chinese cities. Some travellers find this place boring, and it is, if you're doing the "checkmark" style of staying a day or two in each place. However, if you have the time to squat for a while, there's a pleasant atmosphere to be found.
Review of Peter's Tex-Mex Grill by elizabeth (10), September 15, 2005
A great place to re-acquaint your taste buds to Tex-Mex grub with large portions of well-prepared food, a very attentive waitstaff, and a clean pleasant environment. The desserts arereally authentic American. They really know how to make apple pie!

Great place, great location, excellent Chinese and Western food, cheap drinks, and best sound system in Guangxi...
Review of Dragon Cloud Guesthouse by Pete_Rivera (20), August 27, 2005 
Surly service,red neck petty racism masquerading as knee jerk patriotism - displaying a large sign "No Japanese!!", ironic since this place is run by east coast chinese in Tibet.
What nationality's next?
Review of The Den by chickenandporn (10), August 18, 2005 
The Den is great to drop in with a buddy, grab a beer, and carry on... it often has a number of foreigners due perhaps to the music, and perhaps to the multitude of "Chicken Girls" willing to entertain wealthy foreigners for the evening. If you rent girlfriends, there are some here.
The music is OK, and around midnight on most party nights it's a good place to dance. The dance floor is a bit small, but it's got a dance floor, a scripted DJ (does not respond to the dancers, just plays the music) but it's danceable music with a bit of swing-ish and salsa-ish stuff. Nice little mix.
If you want more Chickengirls, go to Maggie's; it just moved, and it's open until 4.
Review of Chuan Nan Xiao Chi by wtanaka (648), August 13, 2005
I've learned some chinese from this guy, and he serves large portions of food at reasonable prices. Try the "Er Si"
Review of Hazel Bar by wtanaka (648), August 13, 2005
Hazel and Ma are the kindest people. The food is decent, but a bit pricy.
Review of Bus between Zhongdian/Xianggelila and Lhasa by chengduchris (10), August 11, 2005 
I think this guy is crazy making money! Fly to Chengdu, where you at almost every travelagency either get a flightticket Chengdu - Lhasa including permit for around 1.990,- RMB Yuan, or a overland permit, actually these are about 5 permits for around 500 Yuan, which allows you to take a bus or go by jeep overland to Lhasa. And these permits are LEGAL. Don\'t know if the permits you get from this guy are legal. Wish you good luck.
Review of Old House Of Abu by amyinchina (10), July 28, 2005
old house, true, but not worth the visit. Abu is sweet enough, but he'll spend many, many minutes showing you pics of all the other tourists who were suckered in. he'll definitely try and make closer contact with the women out there, and will repeat the same thing about Mao's troops doing something there, which we weren't able to understand even knowing some mandarin. better to just wave from the street!
